George Foreman, the two-time heavyweight champion and beloved entrepreneur, has passed away at the age of 76. His family confirmed the news via Instagram, highlighting his deep faith, unwavering discipline, and commitment to his legacy.
Foreman rose to prominence as a dominant force in boxing, winning Olympic gold in 1968 before becoming heavyweight champion in 1973. His career took a dramatic turn when he retired in the late 1970s, only to return a decade later and reclaim the heavyweight title at 45—becoming the oldest champion in history at the time.
